@refugeworldwide radio presents ECO: The ExtraCorporeal Orchestra | @sonicsupport.co , @abbzah & @thomasthinks Abbas Zahedi and Tom Harris present a monthly series of live performances and radio transmissions exploring grief, care and the act of listening. Each month alternates between live sessions recorded at London hospices and studio recordings, with Zahedi and Harris as the creative core of the series and space for additional collaborators across both formats. Every iteration takes a distinct, improvisational approach to shared presence and engagement with experiences of grief, death and dying. The series forms part of a wider year-long project — SONIC SUPPORT: ECO (The Extracorporeal Orchestra) — in which Zahedi works across hospices, hospitals and public sites to create spaces for collective and individual listening, exploring how sound can support reflection, care and creative expression within end-of-life and healthcare contexts. SONIC SUPPORT: ECO forms part of @imperialcharity Artist in Residence Programme, delivered in collaboration with @studiovoltairelondon , and supported by @aceagrams and Imperial Health Charity.

A couple weeks ago @thomasthinks and I presented the first performance of SONIC SUPPORT: ECO (The Extracorporeal Orchestra) at @royaltrinityhospice , the oldest hospice in the UK, to staff, patients and members of the public. It is a project years in the making; from a life-support ECMO machine at @nottm_contemp , to the seed of ECO taking shape with @bchubchu in @agentnocturn , to @sonicsupport.co finding its home with the support of @imperialcharity and @studiovoltairelondon . I spent the first three decades of my life in and out of hospices, hospitals and intensive care units. For the last ten years I have been processing much of that through my work. The consistent thread through all of it is sound; an approach to the sonic that is affect-driven and relational; not soothing; not decorative; something that meets the intensity of what is actually there. SONIC SUPPORT: ECO is where that processing becomes a platform; a living ensemble for performers and sound artists to bring their own encounters with end-of-life and life-altering states. @thomasthinks is a key counterpart in this. What we made that night was not easy to sit with, and that was the point. There was relief in it; an ability to feel without shame. This Tuesday 21st April at 7pm CET the recording of that first performance broadcasts on @refugeworldwide as the first transmission of the series, and then monthly from there, with space for other collaborators along the way. The project runs through to March 2027, developed as part of @imperialcharity Artist in Residence Programme in collaboration with @studiovoltairelondon supported by @aceagrams Video credits: @melisbischofberger 🙏🏽🫀

Next up… on Sunday the 12th of April I’ll be heading over to Sherwood to join forces with Ste from @ilikeitbakery . Tom Harris @thomasthinks is going to be with us blessing the space with his ambient music. So please, bring a friend and come get in the Brother Coffee spirit! 10-3 at 1a Winchester Street (NG5 4AH) Assembly Coffee I Like It Bakery & Tied Up In Notts bakes ‘Sonic Service’ from Tom Harris Poster by Ed Phipps @ed_phipps

Overwhelmed with the support on the fundraiser for my dad ⭐️ we reached 41% of the goal in less than 24 hours! We didn’t expect that and are sincerely grateful for anyone who has donated! Thank you for the messages everyone has shared, it’s beautiful when people come together in community, there is strength in numbers and I’m confident all of the support is giving my dad strength! Let’s keep the Rhythm alive for the fundraising event on the 14th! Even sharing the link makes a real difference if you can 🙏🏽

Exploring new ideas with @thomasthinks this week 🎛️ Alongside the sonic sculptures, we’ve been developing our improvised music practice together, with more to come this year. Tom will be joining me in an improvised set this sat at @footprintsjazzclub - details via link in my bio x

Before releasing new music. I’d like to take you on a little journey of previous musical offerings: This is one of the first completely original songs I recorded back in 2013 prod. by @thomasthinks during our project s2dio days. This particular live recorded version was for @_demonfm whilst completing our degrees at @dmuleicester At some point in the near future I will put ‘the getaway’ up for download on Bandcamp at the very least. The full video is still on YouTube under “K.J.Palmer - The Getaway”. This was created at a time when I reallly loved experimenting and delivering more reflective thoughts. Very grateful to be in the mindframe to release music again, and maybe just maybe what I deliver can connect and touch a few souls out there… who knows. 💌 with love, kj

Myself and @thomasthinks invite you to @nottm_contemp on the 2nd October, where we’ll be performing as part of the @oneoneone____________ project, supporting @wulumusic @louiscarnell__ @li_yi_lei_ 🤍 reclaimed steel plates, springs and water vessels collide with low recorders, whistles, voice, tapes and synths ☄️ Big thanks to @nearnow for supporting/funding this project Footage by @kate.griffn at @creative_peaks_ 📹

#MondayMemories 'CAPStone' exhibition created by @kafka_poe_murakami & @thomasthinks at the @boningtongallery @ntucreated #Houses #CAPStone #STARVE

Delighted to share this film (full version in bio) by @juleslisterphotography , interviewing @kafka_poe_murakami & @thomasthinks on the occasion of Cappo’s debut solo exhibition ‘CAPStone’ at Bonington Gallery, June 14-21, 2025. Full version can be viewed on our YouTube channel, link in bio. #Cappo #CAPStone #TomHarris #BoningtonGallery Visual description: The video mixes together shots of Tom Harris and Cappo (Paul Adey) speaking together, sat next to a sculptural version of a tall ‘speaker stack’. The rest of the shots are still and panning views of the space, showing wide angle and detail aspects of the installation. The space is low lit, with red and purple coloured light, as well as general spot lights.

Just 3 more days to catch ‘CAPStone’, the debut solo exhibition by critically acclaimed Nottingham rapper Cappo, featuring collaborative work made with sound artist Tom Harris. Read this excerpt from @thewiremagazine about Cappo’s recent album S.T.A.R.V.E.👇 “A remarkable piece of work that blurs the lines between musical composition and literary devices as it reimagines the construct of a hiphop album” - A similar sentiment could be applied to Cappo & Tom’s deconstructed and discipline-defying approach to the making of this exhibition. We’re open 11am-3pm today, Friday & Saturday, don’t miss! 📷 @juleslisterphotography #Cappo #CAPStone #TomHarris #NottinghamHipHop #BoningtonGallery [Image descriptions in alt-text fields]
